The Individual

Sickle cell disease is a multisystem condition characterized by hemolytic anemia and vasoocclusion. Not only are the symptoms of the first presentation but also the ages of presentation are very variable. Following three case reports, different causes of possible late presentation are discussed. Many factors are responsible for the age at which sickle cell disease is diagnosed: doctor’s delay (unfamiliarity with the disease), patient’s delay (education and financial position of the parents, cultural factors), high- versus low-resource country (availability of newborn screening), fetal hemoglobin, reticulocyte count, and genetic modulators, such as SCD genotype, alpha-thalassemia, fetal hemoglobin concentration, and G6PD deficiency. The individual course of sickle cell disease depends on (epi) genetic and environmental properties and the underlying interactions. In further studies, the role of each factor should be evaluated more deeply, and its use as a marker of disease severity or activity should be assessed.

Homozygous Sickle Cell Disease

ABSTRACTSickle cell diseases are inherited hematological diseases, prevalent in certain parts of the world. We reporttwo cases of sickle cell diseases, first being sickle cell b-thalassaemia and second homozygous sickle celldisease (SS). Our first case was 5 year old boy presenting with hemolytic anaemia & hepatosplenomegalyhaving sickle cell b-thalassaemia disease . Second case was 17 years female presenting with hemolyticanaemia & joint pain having homozygous sickle cell disease.Key Words: Homozygous sickle cell disease, sickle cell b - thalassaemia, hemoglobin electrophoresis.
